Bix Archer’s work revolves around spaces of ordinary intimacy and everything that lives in them. She examines how the objects in her life have retained traces of relationships—even ones that have since dissolved. This involves painting from memory, sketching different moments collapsed into a single image, observation of objects, and making art based on written or oral descriptions from the artist or others. Archer mixes observation, experience, fantasy, and language within her pictures to represent experience as it really is: fragmentary yet ever-continuing.
